we always hear that, over clock can spoilt the processor due to over heat

but is it down clock also can burn the cpu ?

My fren have one AMD Barton 3000+ . Original FSB is 200 Mhz. Is it possible i run it at 133MHz FSB? will it create more heat and spoilt the processor ?

fren, down clock will not burnt the processor. it will also sometimes makes the processor temp lower coz of less clockcycles.
but if u are to downclock the fsb to 133mhz, then u might also consider to downclock the ram speed to 266mhz (PC2100) to let them sync so is it more stable.

u obviously dont even know what downclocking is...
either that or lack a little logic

Why would you wanna do that? you paid extra for that speed. But lowering the FSB will reduce heat and preserve the processor for even longer period of lifespan. Theoretically at least. Believe me, it's not worth it since the effect of downclocking will not significantly help prolonging lifespan of a processor.

i think he juz edited the 1st post. juz now he said his fren dowan his children use the pc to play games so want to downclock it.

hahahah
very funny
then go buy PC 400MHZ
can play pacman onli hehehe

LOL, not a brilliant action in my opinion. Games significantly dependable on graphic card, just get a rubbish card and plugged it in.

better down clock the GC then cannot play smoothly...haha

Haiyor, limit the access to the applications/GAMES! Thru windows. Mah easier than downclocking.

And downclocking the hardware to limit the playing of games is not going to help. He has to educate the children, not slow down the hardware.

well one of the main reason people downclock is to cool down the processor that they think is too hot ( 50-60 degrees is still okay friends)

antoher one is they need super silent machines so that they dont need super powerful fans and dont mind the reduce speed. websurfing, office and such would not see a performance increase even if you have a 2ghz processor downclocked to 1.5ghz processor. unless u play games...but the temprature difference is quite high and they dont want/need to invest in high end cooling.

yup..agreed....not a nice idea to downclock the processor. maybe he should downclock the graphic card..hehe
or maybe juz let them use winxp guest account and limit their usage.

down clocking doesnt help much man, unless u download clock a lot!!
then u better go and get the old type of cpu rather a new 1
lolz

i think u shud throw away RAM
juz add 128 onli and install WIN VISTA

....dumb idea u won;t even get to open a doc

y not jus install linux i doubt many gams can run on linux + its free

hahahahha this.. kind for ppl who cannot Overclock.. poweg2 the,,, try make showOFF with DownClock .. huhuhuhuh funny...

poweg2 HUH??

[quotey not jus install linux i doubt many gams can run on linux + its free[/quote]

later his son playing GBA emulator on linux hehehhe
coz WINE now become more powerful
install TEXT TYPE linux?
heheheh

juz put a s3 savage pci graphic card lar...

i never expect there will have a such good respone from all the forumer. Overclockers always think how to run their system in the maximun speed. So, when i post up this topic, i feel funny also coz our discussion area is how to down clock a system, rather want to over clock it.

i will pass every one opinion to my fren.
Thanks for you all precious time to contribute your own idea.

Downclock for the sake of the child seems funny too.

erm....

downclocking a barton 3000+

why dont he give me the barton and i will give him my P3 Rig

get another cheap pc for the children to use, if he is afraid that the children will use it to play game

GOOD LUCK
